I've been working on my "City Lights" series for many years now and this is just the second piece that I've done in oil for the series. This latest addition is from midtown Manhattan, featuring inspiration that I discovered last fall while visiting the city to catch the final days of a brilliant John Singer Sargent exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I really enjoy the energy and punch of these small format works. When I choose subjects to include in this series, I favor compositions that feature a dominant color key. Here, obviously, it was all about the rain and the cool blues and turquoises throughout the scene, pierced by the occasional reflection and light.
